Overall I would say it was the Liberals who were refusing to fight to protect the country.

I think what I noticed first was that it appears, just as Michael Moore said in Farenheit 9/11, that a high percentage of both sides of the house do not serve in the military. Guess their children will follow suit. Privilege and position and you never have to be called a draft dodger to boot.

This is the saddest point about this report- it points that out with statistics.
